    Exclamation The Real Delegates Map 2012 Mainstream Media Won’t Show You

    http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/201...a-show-131241/


    Even after Ron Paul had massive victories over the weekend, the media is still lying about the Romney delegate count so here is the latest real map.

    The corporate media still is running story after story claiming Romney has a massive lead and Paul has few delegates.
    Simply put, as the table below shows, the media is counting non-binding caucuses and states with mixed primaries as wins and delegates for Romney column.
    The problem is the non-binding caucuses don’t mean a thing. Those non-binding caucuses are just that non-binding and the real delegate selection for many of these states hasn’t even happened yet.
    As we saw over the weekend, Romney got romped by Paul in 3 states that the media had counted as Romney states based on the results of these non-binding caucuses.
    But guess what? The media is still not updating their falsely reported delegate counts and are instead sticking to the story that Romney is way out a head.
    In reality, Ron Paul has won the 5 states (actually he is winning 11 states now) needed to secure a spot at the GOP national convention but you won’ see those 5 states listed as wins on any corporate media list of delegate counts.
    But putting aside the deception they are using to manufacture consent for Romney, here is the real 2012 GOP delegate map as provide by a Ron Paul supporter.
    The Real GOP Delegate Map May 7 2012


    And here is a report from a real media outlet willing to tell the public the truth.
    Also Notice how the media is still counting states such as Maine, Nevada, and many more for Romney even though he has officially lost these states over the weekend when the real delegates were selected.



    The latest update from Business Insider:
    Republicans Are Finally Getting Nervous About Ron Paul’s Secret Delegate Strategy

    For several weeks I have been writing about Ron Paul’s upset victories at district and state GOP conventions, and about the surprising success of his delegate strategy. Now, with Paul’s delegate sweeps in Maine and Nevada, it looks like Mitt Romneyand the Republican Party are finally starting to catch on to the trend.Paul supporters swept this weekend’s state GOP conventions, picking up 21 of 24 RNC delegates in Maine and 22 out of 28 delegates in Nevada. The twin victories come on the heels of Paul’s surprise delegate wins at district caucuses and state conventions in Missouri, Minnesota, Colorado, and Louisiana, as well as a Paul-friendly takeover of the Alaska GOP.Paul supporters have managed to stage these state-level coups despite significant resistance from local Establishment Republicans, many of whom are predictably reluctant to relinquish their power to the insurgents. So far, however, the Paul campaign has attributed most of the Establishment’s “shenanigans” to local animosities.But there is growing evidence that the Romney camp — and the national GOP — are stepping up their efforts to prevent an embarrassing Ron Paul uprising on the floor of the Republican National Convention.In Maine, for example, the Romney campaign dispatched its top lawyer, Benjamin Ginsberg, to oversee the state convention proceedings this weekend. (It’s worth noting that Ginsberg is best known for his work for George W. Bush during the 2000 Florida recount.) Ginsberg’s presence didn’t stop the convention from descending into chaos, with both sides accusing the other of breaking party rules with phony ballots and illegal delegate votes. (The Kennebec Journal has a colorful account of the madness here.)
    Ultimately, Paul supporters out-numbered and out-organized their Romney counterparts, winning the majority of the state’s RNC delegates, as well as both RNC Committee Chair posts and 34 out of 50 open spots on the state party committee. Romney supporters have pledged to mount a legal challenge to the results with the Republican National Committee.
    In Nevada, the Paul sweep was largely expected — the Silver State has been a Ron Paul stronghold since the 2008 election, when the state GOP literally turned off the lights at their convention to avoid seating Ron Paul delegates to the national convention. Since then, Paul supporters have won elections to local and county GOP boards, and are now major players in state Republican politics.
    “The Establishment is us now,” Ron Paul’s Nevada campaign director Carl Bunce told Business Insider before this weekend’s convention. “If we turn off the lights, we know where the light switch is.”
    But Nevada’s Paul-friendly party Establishment didn’t stop the Republican National Committee from trying to stop Paul’s acolytes from completing their takeover this weekend. In a letter obtained by the Las Vegas Sun last week, the RNC’s lawyer warned that the national party could unseat Nevada’s convention delegation in Tampa if the state party elected too many Ron Paul supporters as delegates.
    Romney is also apparently keen not to avoid a second embarrassment in Iowa, a state where Paul continues to make significant inroads. At the Republican National Committee summit in Phoenix last month, Romney aides tried to force Iowa’s three-person RNC delegation to sign a “loyalty pledge” promising to vote for Romney at the national convention. Iowa GOP Chair AJ Spiker, a former state director for the Paul campaign, told Business Insider that the Romney camp backed down after he and the two Iowa RNC chairs refused to sign the pledge.
    Privately, sources close to the Ron Paul campaign say they believe Republicans will continue to ramp up his efforts to block Paul delegates at state conventions, particularly after Romney’s embarrassing delegate losses in Massachusetts. But state organizers tell Business Insider that Paul supporters are significantly more organized than Romney’s delegate team, and are ready to put up a tough fight in states like Idaho and Washington.

    Didn't he just suspend his campaign spending in the remaining primary states? That seems quite odd if the delegate math was working for him...

    I think the delegate math was working so well he decided to stop wasting money on the pointless rigged primaries. and focus entirely on getting delegates the way he has been winning them recently.

    The front lines of the real battle is at the state and national conventions where he is winning using their rules. lol The primaries are just a waste of energy and a media circus that he is not going to feed any longer. A wise straight path is always a better one than a corrupt deceiving one. IMHO

    It does not matter, it wil be rigged anyway and Romney will be the elected king officially. That is what the media seems to be telling us.

    The RNC keeps a huge supply of uncommitted super delegates exactly for situations like this. The super delegates are usually enough to throw the nomination to whomever the party establishment prefers. That said the convention would certainly be the place for Paul supporters to attempt to take the GOP back from the brink of the Dominionists. I'm sure there will be enough people to demand concessions somehow. Such as a chance to change part of the party platform or something.
